3 Day Castaway Expedition Coron to El Nido

About This Crawl

A 3-day, 2-night island-hopping expedition from Coron to El Nido by traditional bangka. You sleep in nipa huts on remote islands, eat meals cooked by an on-board chef, and snorkel reefs that most tourists never reach. Rum, gin, and mixers are included. Rated 4.8 from 20 reviews.

What to Expect

Day one: van transfer to the port, then sail through the Linapacan strait stopping at uninhabited islands and snorkelling spots. Evenings are bonfires, karaoke, and rum on the beach. You sleep in native huts with mattresses and mosquito nets. Day two: more islands, sandbars, and reef snorkelling. Day three: final island stops before arriving in El Nido. All meals are prepared fresh by the chef on the boat. The crew are local and know every cove.

Who It's For

Backpackers and adventurers who want the social, off-grid Palawan experience. The bonfire nights with rum and karaoke are the party element. This is not a luxury cruise. It is camping on beaches with strangers who become friends.

Tips

• Pack light. Storage on the bangka is limited and the nipa huts are basic.
• Bring a dry bag for electronics. You will get splashed on the boat.
• Environmental fees at some islands are not included. Bring extra cash in small bills.

Verdict

The signature Palawan backpacker experience. At USD 363 for 3 days with all meals, drinks, accommodation, and transfers, the per-day cost is competitive. The 4.8 rating confirms the operator delivers.
